Notes

21.03.2021

This yarn set was initially bought for Kuutar sweater but once I saw test knit call for Olki Pullover I couldn’t resist! Will swatch to see the gauge and then kick off with the project.

Got near the gauge with 3.25 needles, now progressing with the body. Lovely pattern and quick to knit. Vuonue Wilhelmi paitalanka feels quite sturdy so this will be somewhat thicker version.

Did the neckline already at this point as I just couldn’t resist a sneak peek. Lovely pattern, the only hickup for me was the lack of total stitch count after front shoulder increases (I’m lousy at math). This color combination is amazing, depending on the light it seems to change from coppery to golden sand. Can’t wait to finish!

I’m so happy with my FO. Knitted 13 cm rib to cuffs, no other mods to the well written pattern. This is a go-to piece!
